Hi all,
Having a weird problem with Gnome. Basically it's stuck in 800x600 all the time: even though using system-config-display shows any of the resolutions my monitor can achieve (well, LCD, it's on my laptop) and I can select the different modes, then restart Xorg as prompted, though it makes no difference.
However I think this is a Gnome problem more so than anything else: if I use setup from a terminal, then choose the X configuator (which seems to 'quit' out of Gnome and into another display system temporarly) then the resolution will work fine (i.e. 1024x768 which I want to use), as will xfce. However when using Gnome it refuses to do anything other than 800x600- as mentiond before.
Does Gnome use any sepperate config files to store its resolution in?
Here is my Xorg log incase it's any help:

I'm using Fedora Core 3, with the latest version of Xorg and Gnome (from apt, anyway). My laptop is a HP NX9010 - the resolution works fine on Windows.
Also, the xorg log file reports no error that I can see.
Thanks.
